Abstract:
A case is reported of osteosarcoma arising in a dog after the fracture of the femur. The tumor was diagnosed 6 years after the trauma. We suppose that the cause of malignant transformation in this case was a permanent mechanical trauma, restructuration and regeneration of the bone. This mechanism, possibly, also may take place in the genesis of primary osteosarcomas.
